Abstract
The paper presents the results of experimental studies of a surface crack-like defect in a butt welded joint on flat specimens of 06GB-390 steel under cyclic loading to formation of a through-thickness crack. Dependence of growth of a surface crack-like defect in vertical butt welded joints on the loading cycle number was established for design rings of walls of oil storage tanks. It is shown that in the presence of surface defects in welded joints application of rolled plates of 06GB-390 steel for the design rings of tank wall provides a substantial improvement of their operational safety.
